A balanced plate is a simple guide you can use at home or when eating out.
Fill your plate like this
- Half: vegetables and salad
- A quarter: protein — chicken, fish, eggs, beans or lentils
- A quarter: whole grains — brown bread, rice or potatoes
Add water instead of sugary drinks. Your nutritionist can adjust the plate for your goals and health.
